Hach Sonatax sc with sc200/sc1000 controller

The Hach Sonatax sc with sc200 controller is designed to help with sludge extraction and the management of recirculation, and provide warnings of potential solids washouts or process upsets by continuously measuring the sludge blanket level. Its digitised probe eliminates interference and features a quick LED system check. If connected with the sc1000 controller, graphical display of sludge profile is also available.

The Sonatax sc offers reduced maintenance with an innovative wiper design, and a built-in position sensor can be used to resume measurements after skimmer passes. The same sensor can also compensate for angle when the probe is not mounted exactly vertically.

High accuracy is achieved by automatically scanning a range of frequencies to find the ideal settings for the solids concentration for the application. Built-in software disregards signals reflected from tank structures such as pipes and rods. Automatic temperature compensation ensures the ultrasonic measurement is unaffected by seasonal changes in water temperature, making seasonal calibration unnecessary.

A visual performance LED indicator light on the probe provides quick glance assurance of proper performance. Troubleshooting, particularly in applications with multiple sludge blanket level probes connected to one controller, is quick and easy.
